Family Fun Fridays! Hapa Zome!

Here is our second installment of fun creative activities for families with young children from Karl, Frances & Margit our Early Years specialists – something to explore together during these extraordinary times!

Family Fun Fridays will take you on a journey of creating art with nature, marbling paper with items found in your kitchens, explore shadows and shapes, tell stories, make books and more. We hope that you all keep safe and healthy, entertained and happy! There will be five activities in total, being released one at a time on every Friday in May starting on Friday 1st May. We had project planned for families this summer, which is now on hold, but get in touch if you want to join us when we can meet again.

This week our Family Fun Friday activity is Hapa Zome! Originally devised by eco-artist India Flint, the technique has it roots in Japanese art but it’s now taken off as an educational and fun activity the world over.

Karl says this was one of the most popular activities during For the Love of Books, and we’re delighted to present you with a version to try out at home. Enjoy Frances’ film taking you through the process and Margit’s illustrated activity cards with step-by-step instructions for you to follow.

As always our Family Fun Friday activities were originally designed for young children and their families but they can easily be undertaken by all household members during the lockdown. Let us know how you get on with Hapa Zome!

These activities have been supported by the Ragdoll Foundation.
